The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand having been long felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the publie the present carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with vorv general support.

As a first step, it is proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to eaicb pf the Provinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving the other half to be disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress of the Colony may demand and shareholders may decide; but in no instance wUI any of the remaining shares be offered for sale out of the Colony without haring been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand Kegister be kept, 3rd. It is intended that the Head Office of xaeaa unice the Bank shall be m Dunedin, and that VTr *, . aaa max a General Manager of high professional standing shall be appointed to guide the operations of the Bank ; and also that a Board of qualified Directors shall be elected from among the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally watch the interests of the whole Institution. 4 th. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares snail nave been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches dual, y bo opened in the Chief Oehtrbs of Settlement throughout the Colony. sth. It will be the chief aim.of the Promoters oi this Bank to aid and conserve alike the inter estsof the whole community in this Colony. 1 heMercanti le, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artxzan, and Laboring classes will each have fair treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Mining Interest special attention will bf given, with a desire to acquire for hs Miners the Mint value of their Gold, whethei a large or small quantities, and until SU -n\ valuc \ r ba ascertained a liberal advance will be made upon any Gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. 6th.
